Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bills turned the phones into found money: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Teddye Buchanan; the Bills did not wait, grabbing him 79 spots ahead at pick No. 173. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Horton. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

The Tank Dell pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 30 they get a downhill hitter at safety, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in Round 2, Pick 26 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 62nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Deone Walker
They robbed the room for Deone Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in pick 132 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A premium they did not need to pay, Vernon Broughton a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Upton Stout
A big swing on Upton Stout at Round 5, Pick 32, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick173 Rnd5 Teddye Buchanan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Teddye Buchanan well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
They read the board right and RJ Harvey was the payoff at pick 177. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick206 Rnd6 Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford at slot 206 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
